    the easiest way is just up Mississauga RD. Turns into the forks.

    it's off of hwy 10, just south of orangeville on the WEST side.
    if you hit orangeville you have gone too far...it's pretty hard to miss there is a centre turn lane and a big green sign, just be on the lookout for it.

    Just a suggestion, if you haven't hit the forks before, I would go to terra cotta, because if you can't handle that twistie at the end, you're not going to handle the twisties on forks.

    If terra cotta was alright, just head north on mississauga rd. I believe and your at the forks.

    this is the easiest way, you dont have to worry about missisng any turns because it turns into the forks.

    10 is the fastest but mississauga road, if you dont know where it is is the easiest.

    Was at the forks for the first time last weekend (on a bike)... beautiful place to ride... I must go back again soon!
    Def the most complex roads I have tackled to date!
    Yes I am a newbie! lol

    Why is everyone saying this road isnt for newbies? This is an easy easy road to do at the posted speed limit (aren't all roads?)

    I just got back from Deals and I could do the forks in reverse with my eyes closed if my bike had it!

    Forks is definitely a nice scenic road, but there is nothing special about it and doesn't require any specific skills that the average rider doesn't already have. If you can ride in Markham, you can ride the Forks.

    I agree with Amped...

    Forks aren't bad at all...
    if you're new, just do the speed limit.. you don't need to try to be Rossi while doing them

    Lots of turns on the way to Georgetown, leaving Georgetown, and Terra Cotta.

    Sure it's not the toughest road per say, but whos going to take the forks at the limit.

    Things can get out of control if a newer rider decides to gun it and overestimating their ability.
